CKC September Seven Seas Page/Altered Kit

Meridy and Bethany from the Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog asked for volunteers to make a page kit for September (theme: my choice), so I did not hesitate to respond as I had this project I wanted to alter for months now (printer's tray shown below), and wanted to get it done! I thought this would be perfect to take a page kit and go "out of the box"! Theme: altered!

I kept the same color scheme and theme of my Main Kit, and named this kit:

SEPTEMBER SEVEN SEAS PAGE/ALTERED KIT

Create a kit to finish up or feature memorabilia from this summer and Labor Day.

My kit features nautical papers from Pink Paislee, nautical charms, vintage photos, postcards and ephemera, hand-crafted felt embellishments, co-ordinating laces, ribbons, and flowers.

Dare: I dare you to create a scrapbook page that looks like an altered printer's tray! (see Resources below)

It's time for September Counterfeit Kit Challenge Reveal & Blog Hop!

September 2012 Inspiration Kit

Welcome to our Master Forgers Blog Hop!

As seen on the CKC Blog: The September 2012 Inspiration Kit is the August kit put together by Birds of a Feather.  Their August 2012 kit contains some pretty patterned paper and a nice assortment of perfectly paired embellishments.  You can view a photo of the kit and the contents on their web site at Birds of a Feather August 2012 Kit  .   We hope you will enjoy creating your Counterfeit Kit based on this inspiration.

As a little added bonus this month, each of our Master Forgers have created 3 counterfeit embellishments, drawn from inspiration from this summer's CHA new releases! 

My Kit: Neptune Sea

I created a lot of handmade embellishments for this kit, including the canvas banner pieces (shown above), the felt bow photo clips (shown above), mini kraft diecut tags (shown above), and layered & embellished flowers (shown above). 

Colors included aqua, gold, moss green, light pink, dark pink, and peach.

My CHA Favorites were:

• Happy Layered Stickers - Tangerine - The Sweetest Thing - My Minds Eye

• Tulle Trim by Maya Road - Perfect for that soft touch! (I need to make more colors)

• Simply Lovely Brads - Honey - The Sweetest Thing - My Minds Eye

This was my favorite part of this month's kit. These were so fun to make!!! Here's also a look at my papers.

My September Add On: Poseidon's Chariot

  Alpha's, handmade yo-yo flowers, paper scraps, stamps, inks, stamp markers, etc.
